Yeah, and the Billmen (that were visible in the screens at the Polish site briefly) also did not have anti-cav, but had anti-armour. I thought they would also get the the halberdier formation, but they didn't. I know the screens I'm basing this off were pre-beta, but I won't be surprised if the billmen stay the same.
